This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.One one machine I did an 'upgrade install', and the account with administrator privileges wasn't working correctly. The Finder wasn't loading correctly, but I could get the Terminal app and System Preferences to launch. I was able to run Software Update, and after X.5.1 loaded, the system rebooted and fixed whatever that problem was. Now Finder launches just fine, and overall Leopard boots much faster than Tiger.

I'm still not 100% convinced by some of the changes in Leopard, but overall this update gets high marks for somehow fixing the problem I had earlier.

I downloaded everything, it was going great, and then it restarted my computer automatically (as it was supposed to) and when it turned back on both my keyboard and trackpad are unresponsive. It is not a hardware problem, it is something internal that I cannot fix! I am so MAD because I had this computer for two days as a gift and now I have to tell them that I broke it.

Summary

I cannot even describe how mad I am right now! Your stupid fake software did something to my computer and it is unfixable! I am never downloading anything from this site ever again and I suggest that no one else does either!

Everything just runs better and smoother that ii did before the upgrade. I was worried it would take a long time to upgrade, but it took less than an hour. I was also worried about the upgrade messing with my printer drivers, applications I already had etc., but there was no problem.

Cons

I did notice I had trouble getting garage band to load, it kept saying it could not find a file in the sound library, but after I restarted the computer a couple of times, it has now started to work, who knows, I'm not very good with knowing how computers work, so I can't tell you why this happened, but it did.

You cannot use the iHome iConnect media Keyboard - if you try, you'll get a darwiln Kernel Panic and a restart message. Once you unplug the Keyboard from the USB port, all is well. I've heard a rumour that iHome is working on a new driver.... we'll see.
